SYMBOLIC VALUES FOR LEARNING

Competency Based on Training in technical and vocational education on symbolic values.

Telling “How To Do”,
Not Telling “What To Know”
Competency based training is a structured approach to training and assessment that is directed toward achieving specific outcomes. It is about assisting individuals to acquire skills and knowledge so that they are able to perform a task to a specified standard under certain conditions. In competency based training, the outcomes to be achieved are clearly stated so that learners know exactly what they have to be able to do, trainers know what training or learning is to be provided and organizations know the skill levels required of their people; for example, working on wiki, Google Docs, building structures etc. The emphasis in competency based training is on "performing" rather than just "knowing" alone. A competency is defined in terms of what a person is required to do (performance), under what conditions it is to be done (Conditions) and how well it is to be done (standards) are the achievements of the symbolic values.
